Petroleum distributor, RUBiS Energy Jamaica, and France-based cultural and social art fund, RUBiS Mécénat, have made adjustments to safely facilitate a free art programme for persons with an affinity for the arts – through the RUBiS InPulse Art Project.
Since 2015, the social art and education initiative has sought to empower Jamaican youth between the ages of 15 and 30, living in Kingston, with an interest in visual arts (painting, drawing, mural design, animation and film making).
Programme Manager of the InPulse Art Project, Camille Chedda, said “In 2020, considering the health crisis, RUBiS retrofitted a space at its Water Lane Service Station in Downtown, Kingston to continue free workshops under the programme, previously housed at the Dunoon Technical High School in East Kingston.”
Six outstanding artists, who debuted their latest work at a new Olympia Gallery-hosted exhibition, ‘… And I Resumed The Struggle’, will come in for sharp focus on Sunday’s episode of Rolling with Deiwght Peters on Television Jamaica (TVJ).
The formidably talented collective of Phillip Thomas, John Chambers, Kimani Beckford, Greg Bailey, John Campbell and Camille Chedda assembled to exclusively detail their respective artistic processes at the Old Hope Road gallery space where their stunning pieces opened for public viewing on Thursday, December 10.
